InvestAssist doesn’t predict tops or bottoms.
It helps you act when conditions are favourable — and stay out of the way when they’re not.Every signal is grounded in a small set of principles that experienced investors already believe in, but often struggle to execute consistently.
1) Buy pullbacks, not peaksWhen assets you want to own pull back and begin to stabilise, that’s often opportunity — not danger.We look for moments when price has moved to a genuine discount and selling pressure is starting to ease.2) Let winners run, but manage riskStrong assets can keep rising — but after large run-ups, upside and downside no longer look balanced.When momentum becomes stretched or unstable, we may suggest trimming exposure to reduce risk, not abandoning the position.3) Scale your positionsNot all pullbacks are equal.• Small dips → small buys
• Larger corrections → larger adds
• Know what they want to own (come with a watchlist)
• Extreme stress → conviction buysSignals reflect degree, not just direction.4) Patience beats activity
Most days, the right action is no action.InvestAssist is designed to filter noise, so you only act when the odds improve — and stay disciplined when they don’t.5) You stay in controlThese are signals, not orders.You decide whether to act, how much to size, and when to place trades. We provide structure — not commands.
A Buy signal appears when two things happen together:
1) The price is discounted
The asset has pulled back more than usual relative to its own history — not just “down from yesterday.”2) Selling pressure is easingPrice action begins to stabilise:
selling slows, momentum improves, or exhaustion appears after heavy selling.This combination suggests the balance is shifting — from forced selling to potential recovery.Buy signals can appear in:• normal pullbacks
• choppy markets
• broader market stressThe deeper the pullback, the stronger the opportunity — and the signal reflects that.
A Sell signal is about risk management, not pessimism.It typically appears when:
• price has moved far above its usual range, and
• momentum becomes unstable, stretched, or starts to fade
This is when:
• downside risk increases
• further upside becomes less attractive relative to riskSell signals often suggest trimming exposure, not exiting entirely — helping you lock in gains and rebalance risk.
Inaction is not a fallback.
It’s an intentional outcome.Most assets, most days, are not at an attractive entry or exit point.Here are the main reasons InvestAssist may tell you to wait:🚧 Unreliable Conditions — Wait for Clarity
Market conditions are too unstable for signals to be reliable.
Standing aside protects you from reacting into noise.⏳ Too Soon — Avoid Overtrading
A similar opportunity appeared recently.
Waiting helps avoid rushing back in and over-allocating.🔥 Too Extended — Wait for Pullback
The asset remains strong, but price hasn’t offered a meaningful discount yet.📉 Insufficient Movement — Need a Deeper Pullback
Price moved down, but not enough relative to how this asset usually behaves.🔍 No Stabilisation Yet — Wait for Confirmation
Price fell, but selling pressure hasn’t clearly eased yet.
Catching falling knives is not a strategy.🟡 No Setup Today — Stay Patient
Nothing meaningful changed.
Doing nothing is the disciplined choice.
InvestAssist doesn’t just suggest what to do — it helps you decide how much to do, based on the quality of the setup and the balance of risk and reward.Sizing is always expressed relative to your own normal position size.Buy SizesBuy sizes reflect how attractive the opportunity looks — not how confident we feel about the future.Small BuyLight entry · ~10–20% of your typical buy sizeUsed when:
• price has pulled back, but conditions are still developing
• risk/reward is improving, but not yet exceptionalThis helps you start building exposure without rushing in.Medium BuyMeaningful buy · ~20–50% of your typical buy sizeUsed when:
• the pullback is clear and meaningful
• stabilisation signals are stronger
• risk/reward looks favourableThis is a confident, but still measured, entry.Large BuyHigh-conviction buy · ~50–100% of your typical buy sizeUsed when:
• price is deeply discounted
• selling pressure looks exhausted
• risk/reward is unusually attractiveThis is reserved for moments when conditions are rare and compelling — not for everyday dips.Sell SizesSell sizes are about risk management, not calling the exact top.They reflect how stretched conditions have become and how much downside risk has increased.Small SellTrim ~10–30% of the positionUsed when:
• price has run up significantly
• momentum is still intact, but risk is risingThis locks in some gains while keeping the core position.Medium SellReduce ~30–60% of the positionUsed when:
upside looks less attractive relative to downside
momentum is weakening or becoming unstableThis meaningfully reduces exposure while leaving room to stay invested.Large SellExit ~60–100% of the positionUsed when:
trends appear to have failed
risk has increased sharply
protecting capital becomes the priorityThis is about preservation, not prediction.
